2013 Map of Kuhns Crossing

About this map

Kuhns Crossing sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape in Elbert County, where the terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and subtle rises. The area is marked by distinctive topographical features such as Rocky Peak and the curiously named Sixshooter Gulch, alongside other local landmarks like Beuck Draw and Cattle Gulch. This 2013 survey illustrates the agricultural and aviation character of the region, featuring the Schantz Airstrip and a sparse network of rural routes including Co Road 141. The drainage patterns of Wilson Creek and Water Gulch indicate the typical arid hydrology of the Colorado plains, where water management and land use are closely tied to the natural contours of the draws and gulches.
